Lanterns is moving from Max to HBO and has received an official series order.

It is part of a new strategy to move expensive scripted series from the streaming service to the linear network that also includes big-budget series such as Harry Potter and IT prequel Welcome to Derry. Obviously, all of these shows will subsequently air on the streaming service.

 

The eight-part series comes from Warner Bros. Television and DC Studios. Mundy will serve as showrunner, and Lindelof and King will co-write the series with all three exec producing.

 

There is no casting for the series.
